PRESCRIPTION CHARGES FOR PEOPLE WITH ASTHMA

Motion Text

That this House is aware that, unlike their counterparts in Wales, asthma sufferers in England still have to pay prescription charges for their medical needs; further notes that such charges are already being phased out in Scotland and Northern Ireland; recalls Government assurances made that people with long-term conditions would receive their prescriptions free of charge; and calls on the Government to immediately fulfil these promises.
